Wow, week 3 already. I am going to work harder to follow my training schedule. In fact I am so committed that after a weekend at the cottage I drag myself out for a training run.
Monday, September 3, 2012 - 3 miles (4.83 km, although the GPS tells me I ran 4.86 km) This was a tough run post camping, I didn't feel great, my time was consistent, but far from impressive. I suppose there will be days like this. I did some strength and core work after my run as well.
Tuesday, September 4, 2012 - 4 miles (6.45 km) I was under the impression I may have been having an allergic reaction from my lunch but headed out anyway. Not smart. I felt incredibly sick and had horrible stomach pains, and yet I kept running thinking this was an amazing training opportunity (CRAZY). This run involved some walking but amazingly I managed it all. Likely as it was an out and back run, and I had to get home. After a few benadryl and sleep I was on the mend.
Wednesday, September 5, 2012 - rest day, was out for dinner with friends.
Thursday, September 6, 2012 - 3 miles (4.86 km) This run went well, but was very windy. These 3 milers are staring to get easier. I did some strength and core work after my run as well.
Friday, September 7, 2012 - Rest
Saturday, September 8, 2012 - 6 miles (9.68 km) It was raining and cool outside, but I didn't want to miss my long run, or have to go out running right after getting new highlights and my hair styled, so I had to suck it up and get out there. It was actually quite nice, the path I normally run was free of other people. I felt really good, and happy with my progress, I ran this strong and felt comfortable. I am really starting to feel like I can manage 13.1 miles on race day.
Sunday, September 9, 2012 - Took a walk with Natasha, the other crazy chick as she was in town. I am feeling really confident and possibly delusional about my abilities, but I sure hope not.
This is the first week I manage to complete all the runs and it felt great.
